Lake Elysan stock farm, was gratified
last week by having eight foalS dropped on

colt by Ivica. Mr.. De Graft, who has just
returned from the farm to st. Paul, says
that all his stock is looking well and that
Empire Wilkes is in excellent condition.

stallion for the reason that he looks so
much like the old horse. He has about
him all the points of a trotter. He is

No Midway Sale.


The annual sale of young trotting stock
that has been advertised to take place at
Midway on the Sth day of June next has
been withdrawn. The cause of this is the
lack of young stock to put into the sale.
Commodore Kittson, George w. Sherwood
and c. A. De Graft are the only persons in-
terested in the project. Mr.. Sherwood has
sold so much of his stock of youngsters
that he had nothing at all to offer, and Mrs.
De Graft has also sold great deal of his
A few days ago Commodore Kittson was
out to Midway looking over his stock with
Mr.. Woodmansee, and was so we'll pleased
with the appearance Of the youngsters that
he told Mr.. WoOdmansee he did not care
about putting them into the sale; that if he
was to have his choice he would not sell
them, but that as the arrangement was
made he would not keep them out. When.
therefore, it was found that the other two
gentlemen had sold so much of their stock
1t was mutually agreed that the sale should
not take place, and it was accordingly
abandoned. This will cause good deal OF
disappointment to many who were int end
